Elementary Chapel

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” Hebrews 6:19a.

God is a God of promises. We can see this in the Bible from the very beginning. In Hebrews 6, the writer reminds the readers of Abraham and the promises God made to him. God made a special covenant with Abraham. God also made a new covenant with believers in Jesus after His death, burial, and resurrection. In this new covenant, we have the promise of Jesus, Our Hope. In Jesus, we have salvation, forgiveness, belonging, and love. That is God’s promise to us that is firm and secure. Elementary chapel is scheduled each week on Thursday mornings. During our elementary chapel times, we have been unpacking this truth that Jesus is our anchor. While our chapels are by video right now, we continue to hear impactful messages from covenant church pastors and school leaders about how to hold onto Jesus as our anchor no matter what is going on around us. During the month of October, we will be shifting our focus to one of many promises that God has made to us— that God loves us. I know that this is a simple promise, but with it comes such a deep level of assurance and meaning. We will challenge your students to anchor themselves to God’s love and live in that joy and peace each day.

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8.

Students Gather for SCA’s See You at the Pole

SCA students, faculty, staff, and families gathered for See You at the Pole on September 23. See You at the Pole is a nationwide initiative encouraging students to unite in worship and prayer before God. This student-organized and led event included students from across the campus. One SCA teacher shared, “I get to spend every day in person with a group of children who pray and will lead their generation and change the world.”

Fourth grade students pray at See You at the Pole. The students gathered together one class at a time, various times throughout the day so that they could do so in a safe manner. Students prayed for each other, their families, teachers, faculty, staff, leaders, and the nation.

Secondary students gather for the 30th Annual See You at the Pole to pray for our nation, leaders, and school.
